to drop off alcohol and sound equipment. The persons using the sound equipment including a generator at the early part of this year and during last summer have been spoken to and told that should the equipment be used again it will be seized by Police and confiscated. I continue to 'educate' as well as enforce and I am attending Churston Grammar and Brixham Community College on a regular basis, speaking to the children and working with them to improve the situation.
My advice to residents is that if they feel intimidated or threatened in any way whatsoever is to call the Police. We need a full picture on what is happening to apply the appropriate resources. If we don't know about it we can’t deal with it!”
